JAMMU, June 28: Blaming the PDP-BJP coalition of deliberate confusion over the GST in the State, PCC has accused the two coalition partners of playing a fixed match over the issue, just to put blame on the opposition.
A meeting of the PCC executive was held here today under the chairmanship of PCC chief GA Mir which was attended by all senior functionaries and leaders of the party. The meeting deliberated upon the current State of affairs in the State especially the deteriorated security scenario in the Valley and expressed grave concern over the overall situation.
The series of attack on the force and gruesome incidents of targeting of local police officials and security forces reflect the utter failure of the State and Centre Government to handle the situation which is worsening day by day and taking new dimensions of great security concern in the wake of Amarnathji Yatra, which took off today. The party asked the Centre and State Govt to ensure fool proof security for smooth and peaceful conduct of the Yatra.
The meeting also lambasted the State Govt for the deliberate confusion over the issue of GST as part of their match fixing exercise. The PDP and BJP are in a coalition for the sake of sharing power in the State, as such the exchange of letters or hollow statements are mere eye wash to hoodwink the people. The responsibility lies on the Coalition Govt to implement the GST as per the modes provided in the constitution in tune with Article 370, for which the State Govt is fully qualified and had ample powers but it wanted to run with the hare and hunt with the hound, to unnecessarily blame the opposition, for the delay and uncertainty, for which coalition is to be squarely responsible.
It said the coalition partners are committed to safeguard the special status as per their own agenda of alliance and it was the duty of the Govt to take steps to ensure the timely implementation of GST, if they were sincere. The Government itself aborted the special session and converted it into obituary session only, even after commenting to provide draft proposal of the Government on June 13 all party meet, while it circulated false propaganda in the media against opposition.
As for as Congress is concerned it has never been against the GST which is its brain child but it is the Government which had to adopt the proper mode and manner of implementation of the same. It is the Govt which is to be blamed for the current chaos, confusion and uncertainty over the issue as it failed to take timely steps in the direction of evolving consensus to get it through in the special session convened for the purpose, the PCC leaders said.
